358: Optimize Wuming and Wuyue

"Why does it feel like a foot massage parlor..." Chen Heng muttered as he led Wu Man out of the Imperial Research Institute.

Given the efficiency of the people in the Council of Elders, the source fragment Fusion and transplantation surgery would probably take a few days.

In any case, there was no rush. He would first plug the hole in the world-suppressing nail in a couple of days.

Once that Yin Qi leaked, the entire Capital would turn into a dead city.

Sitting on a ground traveling steed, Chen Heng took Wu Man and headed towards the Wu Family Private Estate.

His schedule for the next few days was quite full, so he wouldn't feel bored.

One was to teach Wu Man to speak; otherwise, if the two couldn't communicate, they wouldn't be able to understand the secret behind the patterns on Wu Man's back.

The second was to Optimize his two little apprentices, and while he was at it, max out all the Bloodline Martial Skills on his own body that weren't maxed out yet.

Anyway, he still had many Optimization chances, probably enough for now.

Especially the Heaven and Earth Martial Scripture; the 'fetus' in his Dantian had clearly grown, and he felt that a Breakthrough to the next Realm wasn't too far off.

This thing was convenient and hassle-free; it could slowly grow even if he just left it alone.

There was also his Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body. This thing should be closely related to his Six Desires Heaven from his previous life.

After all, the names of the Realms were all based on the Six Desires Heaven.

The bottom Realm was called the Four Heavenly Kings Heaven, followed by the Trayastrimsa Heaven, Yama Heaven, Tusita Heaven, Nirmanarati Heaven, and Paranirmita-vasavarti Heaven.

Currently, his Realm was still in the second layer, Trayastrimsa Heaven. Even so, it had already evolved into two variant forms. He wondered what the higher Desire Heavens would be like.

The two forms that split from Trayastrimsa Heaven were Demon Aspect and Heavenly Manifestation.

Demon Aspect was basically a glass cannon, greatly reducing its defense and converting it into power. Fortunately, there was Earth Vein Power to restore the body.

Heavenly Manifestation, on the other hand, was quite balanced in all aspects, with no particular strengths or weaknesses, focusing on balance.

"Demon Aspect is still more satisfying to use."

If Chen Heng had to choose between Heavenly Manifestation and Demon Aspect, he would definitely prefer the glass cannon-like Demon Aspect.

Mainly because Demon Aspect could utilize all the various passive abilities on his body.

Especially the power boost when injured and the doubling of power upon resurrection, which were perfectly suited for Demon Aspect.

"I wonder if I'm a match for that 'source' now."

Chen Heng clenched his fists. If the source wasn't eliminated, it would forever be a sword hanging over his head.

It could take his life at any time.

"Oh, right, Wu Man should be living on the Yin Side. I wonder if he knows anything about this 'source' thing."

Chen Heng only remembered Wu Man's identity at this moment.

'A monster from the Yin Side of the World.'

"I still have to teach him to speak..."

Chen Heng sighed. He actually didn't like this kind of teaching work.

Fighting was better... Returning to the Wu Family Private Estate and entering the Wu Wang Courtyard, Chen Heng immediately saw Bai Jun teasing Wu Ming and Wu Yue.

"Junior Martial Uncle, Junior Martial Uncle, why don't you cultivate the Martial Dao like Master?"

Wu Yue looked at Bai Jun with wide, clear eyes, asking with a face full of curiosity.

"Junior Martial Uncle?" Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. When did Bai Jun become her Junior Martial Uncle?

"Master, you're back!" Hearing Chen Heng's voice, Wu Ming and Wu Yue immediately ran over to salute him.

"Bai Jun, shouldn't you explain to me how you became the Junior Martial Uncle of these two little ones?"

"This..." Bai Jun scratched his head, his eyes darting around.

"Didn't I call Big Brother Chen 'Big Brother'? These two little ones just started calling me Junior Martial Uncle..."

"Oh..." Chen Heng's lips curled into a mischievous smile. Wasn't this a nanny delivered right to his doorstep?

"Bai Jun, as a Junior Martial Uncle, shouldn't you help your two junior martial nieces and nephews?"

"The medicinal liquids and Medicinal Pills your Big Brother uses are too potent. These two little ones can't use them."

"And they are both still in the stage of strengthening their bones and muscles, so they definitely need medicinal baths regularly."

"Right, right, right, how could I forget this!" Bai Jun slapped his forehead and pulled out a thick ancient book.

"This is a pill book I got from Elder Yang. It records many medicinal liquids, medicinal baths, and Medicinal Pills, etc."

"There should be medicinal bath formulas that these two little ones can use."

"?" Chen Heng was stunned. You agreed so readily?

"Alright then, you go prepare the medicinal bath formulas first. I'll check on these two little ones first."

Chen Heng didn't say much. It was always good to have an extra person to help with childcare.

"Okay, then I'll go study it first..." Bai Jun nodded and returned to his own courtyard to begin researching medicinal bath formulas.

Chen Heng, meanwhile, took Wu Ming and Wu Yue into his main courtyard.

"From today onwards, the two of you will live in the same courtyard as me."

He had two rooms cleaned out, one for Wu Ming and one for Wu Yue.

"Where's your luggage? Are you waiting for me to help you move it?"

Seeing the two little ones not moving, Chen Heng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Master, we don't have any luggage..." Wu Ming pinched the corner of his clothes, replying with some embarrassment.

"..." Chen Heng glanced at the two little ones and didn't say anything more.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to get a few sets of clothes for your daily Martial Skill practice."

"Thank you, Master!" The two little ones thanked him somewhat nervously, standing obediently in front of Chen Heng.

"Wu Ming, come here first. I'll check your root bones."

Chen Heng waved at Wu Ming, and the little one immediately walked over obediently.

Placing his hand on Wu Ming's wrist, Chen Heng probed into his body.

"Hmm..." Chen Heng frowned. This boy's Qi and Blood were depleted, he had many hidden injuries, and his root bones could only be considered inferior.

"Wu Yue, come here." Releasing Wu Ming's wrist, Chen Heng called Wu Yue over.

Repeating the above steps, Chen Heng's frown deepened.

The root bones of these two little ones were not just ordinary; they were surprisingly bad.

If a Genius was one in ten thousand, then Wu Ming and Wu Yue were Geniuses among the useless.

Useless people, one in ten thousand.

Even a top-tier expert like Wu Lei would find it very difficult to cultivate these two little ones into talented individuals.

But Chen Heng was different. Wu Ming and Wu Yue were now classified as his possessions, and all his possessions could be Optimized.

"Close your eyes." Chen Heng placed his hands on Wu Ming and Wu Yue's heads and pressed the optimization button floating above their heads.

[Wu Ming Optimization successful, root bones (Waste) → root bones (Genius)]

[Wu Yue Optimization successful, root bones (Waste) → root bones (Genius)]

"Quite cost-effective," Chen Heng couldn't help but think.

Just two Optimization chances had turned two wastes into two Geniuses. What if he Optimized them again?

But before Chen Heng could continue to click the optimization button, a muffled grunt came from the mouths of Wu Ming and Wu Yue.

"What's wrong?" Chen Heng quickly began to check the two little ones' physical condition, but found no injuries.

Even their previous hidden injuries had completely disappeared.
